A compound X is formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid `C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)` and an alcohol in the presence of a few drops of `H_(2)SO_(4)` .The alcohol on oxidation with alkaline `KMnO_(4)` followed by acidification gives the same carboxylic acid as used in this reaction .Give the names and structures of :
Alcohol

Explanation

To solve this problem, we need to identify the alcohol that reacts with the carboxylic acid \( C_2H_4O_2 \) (which is acetic acid) to form a compound \( X \). We also know that upon oxidation of this alcohol with alkaline \( KMnO_4 \) followed by acidification, we regenerate the same carboxylic acid.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Carboxylic Acid**:
The given carboxylic acid is \( C_2H_4O_2 \). This corresponds to acetic acid, which has the molecular structure:
\[
\text{Acetic Acid (Ethanoic Acid)}: CH_3COOH
